Saturday was the football game that we went to, and I am happy to report that Brenn, Samantha, and I are all witnesses to BC Lions first win in Empire Stadium in over 20 years! However, we only stayed until 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter. The score was Toronto 8 - BC 7 when we left. We really had a good time together going to the football game even if we didn't stay for all of it. Brenn is tired right now, so I assumed that we would not be staying long. I am really happy that we got to witness a small piece of history as well, since this will probably be the very last win that BC will ever have at Empire Stadium as they will be back in BC Place next year.

Christines Aunty Elaine, and Aunty Cindy arrived on Friday night, and Christine saw quite a bit of them over the course of Friday night and Saturday, however unfortunately for Christine and her Aunts, Aunty Elaine woke up this morning feeling as if she may be getting sick, so we were all unable to see them again today. They will be heading back to Calgary tomorrow. Their visit was really nice, and I really enjoyed the time that we got to spend with them. Our day on Saturday was inadvertently planned so that Christine was really the only one to spend the day with them, and we had planned to have a family day today, but I guess things don't always work out the way you plan them. Christine was able to have some fun and family time with them, which I hope will help her. She has really been missing her family for a long time, and over the last month was really ready to start seeing them. The girls were happy to see them as well, it was just fun to have them here. They are really great to be around, and always make us feel better.

Today was a bit of a tough day. We didn't really get up to much. After we found out that Christines Aunt wasn't feeling well, we pretty well changed our plans to do nothing of any really substance. We did some house keeping, and went to the grocery store, but that was all. It would have been great to see Aunty Elaine and Aunty Cindy again today, but we got some relaxation time that was needed today. We are still very stressed with this round for Brenn, and are all having some trouble dealing with the emotions that go along with our fears. Tomorrow is another stressful day as Brenn will be receiving 3 intra-muscular needles at the same time in her legs called Peg-Asperiginaze. She has had this medicine before, however, most kids are allergic to the long term release aspect of this drug, and the allergy reaction will show up the second time. We are quite worried about her reaction tomorrow. Reactions will range from localized hives and swelling to a full scale anaphilactic reaction. After she receives the shots, we will have to wait for 3 hours in the clinic to make sure that she is okay. If she has a reaction, this will be the first time that she has a good possibility of another overnight stay. Hopefully all goes well, and we will all feel better tomorrow. Once we are over this hurdle, hopefully our stress levels will start to come down as there is no real immediate problems, other than the fact that she will be slowly becoming more and more tired, and being on her steroid she is quite irritable. Please pray that all goes well with her injections tomorrow, and that our stress levels will start to subside in the coming days. Thank you all for your comments on the blog, we do read them, and they really make a huge difference for us to know that there are so many people out there that care, and are praying for us.
